Consciousness research is just a collection of pet theories. It's silly to be dismissive of people floating their own ideas when the whole field is just own ideas built on liberal axionomic assumptions and inflated with neuroscience vernacular.
When you have a meter stick that can measure consciousness, then you can ride around on your high horse dispensing empirical smack downs of armchair concepts.
And I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your take on the tech bros. They're often embarrassingly over confident in their takes too.
- ryanklee 3y agoWhat I'm objecting to is people theorizing in a vacuum about subjects that have been heavily theorized about, as if by starting over and disregarding all prior work, someone somehow stands a better, not worse chance of getting it right. Start from where we are on these topics, which is definitely not nowhere.
